Same here using my galaxy tablet. Everything seems to take forever to load.

Same with me. Both with my pc on the interweb as well as my phone on LTE.
Its virtually unusable.

Awful. Takes 8-10 attempts to get a page to load. If it will load at all.

It seems the server may of went down around 7:30ish PM PST.. That's when I noticed it.

I immediately sent a text message to toneeees at 7:40 PM PST and he was able to get the IT team on it right away to at least get the forum up and running. It still seems slow right now though. No word on why yet.

Sorry for the inconvenience guys, but thanks for hanging in there during these up and down roller coaster rides.:)

As I said, it acts like a denial of service attack is going on, I got hit with one on one of my servers last week, jerks, I wish I could just catch one group!

That was my first feeling, DoS attack. I also wish I could catch one, and the ones who write Malware, adware and viruses...But then I think a second time and realise I really DON'T want to catch one. That would mean spending the rest of my days behind bars.... ("deliberately inflicting cruel and degrading pain and suffering, before a long and slow murder")

When I got the message, this was my first thought as well. I will talk with the IT guys later today to see what was going on.

Not sure if it is my PC or the forum, but things seem slow this morning as well.

Thanks thanks thanks to see that my computer isn't the issue this time. I just installed four more GB of ram installed yesterday and the first time I try to log in, it doesn't! Now I feel better as well................

It looks like it was some internal things, the IT guys were able to get it fixed this morning. Things should be back to normal. Enjoy the extra 4 GB of ram!

Got to be careful, if you flip the wrong electronic software switch on a server, you can create you own denial of service attack, in the past I have had the wife do that on our servers, took me hours to get cleared up!
